Elodia G. Saldivar, 95, a devoted member of Wings of Faith Church in Santa Rosa, Texas, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Friday, April 4, 2025, at her residence in Santa Rosa, Texas, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on January 6, 1930, in La Feria, Texas, she was one of 14 children of Manuel Garza and Rosaura Perez Garza.  Elodia had a radiant spirit that everyone naturally gravitated towards, making her home a central meeting place for family and loved ones.  Of all the treasures in her life, her greatest joys were her grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure.  Elodia was the proud matriarch of the Saldivar family, a guiding force and a source of wisdom and strength, and a constant presence of love.   Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering devotion will be profoundly missed, but her legacy of love and togetherness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.  She will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Santos T. Saldivar; a son, Santos Saldivar Jr. (surviving spouse Blanca); a grandson, Orlando Saldivar, Jr; and 8 siblings.

Elodia is survived by her loving family to cherish her beautiful memory, 5 children, Marlon Saldivar (Yolanda), Thelma Garza (Michael), Orlando Saldivar (Linda), San Marino Saldivar (Miriam), & Oscar Saldivar (Cynthia); 18 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren, 4  great-great grandchildren; and 6 siblings, Felipa Hernandez, Dora Lopez, Amalia Vela, Juanita (Connie) Cavazos, Enedina (Annie) Martinez and Sulema Lumbrera.

Visitation will be Wednesday, April 9, 2025 from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with a prayer service at 7:00 p.m. at Trinity Funeral Chapel of the Holy Spirit.

A funeral service will be held Thursday, April 10, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Funeral Chapel.
